Drawbacks of Dairy!

Dairy is a product which is obtained from a living animal and therefore these are high in hormones, enzymes and amino acids. Since the inception of veganism and general trend of adaptation of modern diets in India, we have finally realised that our beloved dairy products is not a in fact a healthy choice.

Dairy products have tendency of premature adulteration, chemical reaction with salts, heavier on stomach and causing a heart blockage. Dairy products if consumed out of the course could also sabotage our fitness goals and put our health at risk such as digestion issues, skin allergies, weight gain, bloating and kidney disorders.

For example drinking milk with meals is equivalent to having two meals at a time henceforth the weight on the stomach doubles making it severely difficult of a human being to digest. Chilled milk is even more difficult to digest causing gas, bloating and constipation. Also having milk with certain citrus fruits and vegetables is like consuming a slow poison, the result of the same could be seen in form of indigestion, gas problem and even acne on skin. These reactions occur due to the complex chemical properties of the milk.

To top it all, dairy products for lactose intolerant is a big no no! There are studies conducted by People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) which have conducted studies to see the harmful effects of dairy products and the results were staggering.

Then what choice are we left with? Thanks to veganism, a number of choices in alternate dairy products such as almond milk, soy milk, vegan butter, vegan cheese, etc have come which can easily be accessed in markets. Almond Milk has all the good cholesterol and omega which is twice good as cow milk. Cow or buffalo Milk is rich in amino acid tryptophan which induces sleep and lactose which is a sweetener; it is not a smart breakfast option. On the other hand, unsweetened almond milk is a healthy and smart choice to go by.
